Obama denounced the Rev Wright..Don’t you think it is a bit to late you racist pig to denounce this excuse for a human..No wonder the black youth are so angry they have morons in churches teaching nothing but hate instead of love..

There will be no black president elected this year.


Better luck in the next presidential sweepstakes ... if there is another one.

The statements that your clergy make when you join give a little bit of an indication of your own sense of right and wrong, and you cannot just divorce from that,"

True.
The best spin Barack.Hussein.Obama can put on this would suggest he joined the church to exploit it's black separatism tilt.

Only problem is his wife has no problem echoing the hate the reverend shouts about.

A few weeks ago, an article stated that Farrakhan was a speaker at Obama’s mother’s funeral, invited by Wright.
I haven’t heard anyone mention this since.

I heard a couple of days ago that she left this church a few years back for fear that the association would affect her career. She sure is being quiet right now.

In response to such comments about Obama, liberal pundits have noted that the presumptive Republican nominee, US Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), has embraced the support of several Christian conservative clergymen, including John Hagee, who also have made offensive statements.

What a ridiculous analogy. There's a difference between accepting the support of someone and having someone as your pastor, spiritual mentor, and guide for twenty years. No one would expect Obama (or any politician) to vet the opinions of every supporter, but to claim that after twenty years Obama had "no idea" of Wright's character defies belief.

"It's not like Barack Obama would know every statement his pastor would have ever made,"

It's well beyond that.

If Obama didn't hear Wright utter the words, many others in that congregation did, and cheered. I didn't see people storming out indignantly on any of the videos, but people cheering and celebrating what was being said. They knew what it was, they'd heard it all before from Wright, and they liked it.

This whole congregation is of a like mind to their pastor. What Obama is telling us is that he either never interacted with the other members of this church enough to hear the same views from them, which is simply unbelievable, or he's not telling us that he shares the same views.

A white politician would be branded a racist for belonging to a restricted country club. But Obama belongs to an organization that goes a lot further than 18 holes of golf...

See this post, apparently she left in the mid 90s, clearly earlier than the 2002 article.

I'm referring to Winfrey's endorsement for Obama. I haven't seen or heard any reports how she is defending his association with Wright or his "church".

There’s also the issue that Wright’s magazine gave an award to Louis Farrakhan. Did Obama miss that one, too?

Don't know about that, she has become quiet. Obviously the Obama-Wright connection is one she'd have known about.

Obuma and wright owe America and we White people a big apology for their comments/associations.

Based on his affiliation with Half-White Wright and domestic terrorist church, Obuma needs to “do the right thing” withdraw from the Presidential Race.

Uh Oh I forgot, that only applies to White candidates for there is an exception to policy for liberal separatist, anti-American, and hate Whitey “Black candidates.”

Respectfully,

also, one expects religious leaders of one faith to make attacks against other religions. Jews and Christians do strongly disagree with each other.

But we don’t expect religious leaders to curse america and go after all white people and use vulgar language and accuse the US of creating AIDS

I was also thinking of that idea. This is not about what helps the GOP but what is the right thing for America. That Obama even has a chance at the presidency is a national disgrace.

Good Morning Ari-Freedom,
We as American Patriots should always do what is best for our country in this Presidential election.

An obuma presidency would lead to a (What happened in South Africa) after Mandela took over and now Mugabe.

Apeasement viablity fails against (those) who hate America & us. One can never shake hands with another while possessing a clenched fist.

Putting a (friendly cuddling black mamba) into a baby’s crib does not allow for the sustained life on the infant’s part.

The majority of the idiots who worship Obuma, share his beliefs and are enthralled at his psuedo gift of gab.

Evil comes in many forms like Half-white Wright, his congregation and Obuma/Michelle. They harbor their venues in position/religion. They are cloaked in deception to unleash deliberate subterfuge against America/ White Americans.

Ferraro was correct in her assumption of Obuma’s success in the political race. The truth hit home and now we see the demons have been exposed.

God Bless America,
NSNR

This is a difficult issue for the candidates to pursue directly, and I doubt McCain will address it directly. It will be left to others, the media, on Obama’s side, radio and assorted independent groups.

Pure speculation, but Ari is associated with a well financed 527 called Freedom’s Watch formed at/after the RJC meetings a year ago. You might recall their pro-Patreus (Rudy also ran one) ads which ran in NYC after the Patreus/betrayus ad from move-on. Hopefully Republicans will have someone out there to address the issue if McCain considers it beneath him. We need more 527s.
